Adobe Flash Player <= 18.0.0.161 RCE (APSB15-14) (Mac OS X)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 84366

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mac OS X host has a browser plugin installed that is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Adobe Flash Player installed on the remote Mac OS X host is equal or prior to version 18.0.0.161. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to improper validation of unspecified user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted Flash content, to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade to Adobe Flash Player version 18.0.0.194 or later.

Alternatively, Adobe has made version 13.0.0.296 available for those installations that cannot be upgraded to 18.x.
